Get a bit fruity for cancer campaign

WORLD Cancer Research Fund's (WCRF) Go Bananas on Fruity Friday campaign takes place in less than a month and we are urging local schools and companies to have a dress down day, to wear yellow for Fruity Friday and to make a donation to WCRF.

This year's Fruity Friday - on May 15 - is set to be the biggest ever. There isn't much time left for readers to organise their dress down days, so get in now before it's too late.

The aim of Fruity Friday is to get across the message about the importance of a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables in a fun way, at the same time as raising valuable funds for our cancer prevention research and education programmes.

As well as organising fun events, such as fruit breakfasts or fruity competitions, one way to celebrate Fruity Friday is to host your own Beat the Banana! 5km fun run.

If your readers would like to find out more about how to host a 'Beat the Banana!' run or how to organise their own 'Go bananas on Fruity Friday' event, they can visit www.fruityfriday.org or call 020 7343 4205 for more information.
